...April 13 I met with the First Lady in the White House. There were a few flashes of anger as she described her and her husband's treatment by the media. She seemed especially upset by coverage of Paula Jones' sexual-harassment suit, mentioning that people had no idea how painful it was for her to endure public reports of her husband's alleged infidelity. She railed against the tactics of the right-wing media and think tanks, wondering how they were being financed. A recurring theme was that she couldn't understand why reporters would publish allegations by people...
...next weekend, Chris Wade, the owner of Ozarks Realty in Flippin, looked out his window and saw a large Mercedes pull into his lot. Hardly anyone in Flippin (pop. 1,000) drove an import, let alone a Mercedes. Out walked Jim McDougal, impeccably dressed in a dark suit even though it was the weekend, and Susan in a tank top. The two came in and announced they had just bought 1,200 acres nearby. Wade pointed out that the acreage consisted of scattered parcels, some of them lacking road frontage or access.

Given the firm's emphasis on generating new business and Madison's increasing visibility, it's not surprising that Rose lawyers eyed it as a potential client.

Another five percent of the tobacco company's income is to be pooled ready for other states needing Medicaid reimbursement. Maryland is already preparing such a suit. The first check from Liggett is scheduled to arrive this week. TIME's Elaine Shannon says "The state lawsuits are using 'good Samaritan arguments', saying simply that they didn't actually smoke, they simply helped someone who did, so why should they pay for it." Because this is a more compelling...
...seven Super Tuesday states brought in 345 delegates and brings the question of Dole's running mate to the fore. Dole maintains that he has not thought about the No. 2 slot on his ticket "in any concerted way," but did tell CBS that he believed Colin Powell would "suit up again" if asked. A new Washington Post poll shows President Clinton leading Dole by 17 points, but another survey shows by adding Powell, Dole evens the odds. "If the vice presidency is presented as a responsibility to serve, than Dole has a persuasive argument," says TIME's Tamala Edwards...
